Big news out of Los Angeles last night. After hearing that Shabazz Muhammad was going to UCLA from a Bishop Gorman assistant coach, I checked with my sources inside the UCLA athletic department. They said that it was a "done deal" after he came out to visit in Westwood.
A Duke official had this to say, "We never felt good about him (Muhammad) from the beginning. Being so close to UCLA and with Ben Howland's reputation, everyone thought he was headed there."
Muhammad is expected to verbally committ in the next week.
This blog seems pretty fishy, similar to the Jonathan Paige hoax a few weeks ago: http://summerhoopscoop.blogspot.com/2011/06/experiment-in-modern-recruiting-news.html
ReplyDeleteNot sure whether to trust this guy and his "sources," moreover, its unlikely that a Duke official would ever comment on a recruit before an official commitment or LOI.
Definitely taking a wait and see approach, but would be happy to see Shabazz in blue and gold!
Hope this turns out to be true, but I really don't see how this new blog is legitimate in any way... :/
